Patients with lymphoma who are treated with rituximab have an increased risk of developing infections. However because of the disease, and because rituximab also diminishes healthy B cells, the humoral response to vaccination may be impaired.
According to the current Dutch guidelines it is advised to train task-specific and goal-driven with stroke patients. This shows to be almost impossible with a lot of stroke patients in the early subacute phase, especially with the severely affected…
motivational interviewing can be an effective method to support patients in maken lifestule behavior changes
With postoperative minimal enteral feeding (MEF) the neonates can be fed completely enteral earlier than without MEF.
Can PBM lead to beneficial effects on the following outputs: Mood, sleepiness, subjective/objective performance, need for recovery, cortisol, sleep timing and quality, melatonin rhythms, heart rate variability, immune response.
We hypothesise that an increase in diaphragmatic muscle activity is coherent during bronchial constriction in children with asthma. Furthermore we hypothesise that the stretching of the lung during hyperinflation due to a dysfunctional breathing…
Comparison of the clinical outcome of an HMPV infection in adult patients with a chronic respiratory disease compared to patients without a chronic respiratory disease: mortality, hospital stay
The TORCH screen is often requested by gynecologists, but there rarely is a clinical relevant outcome. Isn’t it better to reduce the test indications or the number of tested infections to make the test more cost effective and clinical relevant? And…
For patients with stage III-IV irresectable melanoma who have at most 3 metastases, the tumor can be reduced in size by treating with dabrafenib and trametinib for 8 weeks. After this reduction, complete surgery of the tumor could be made possible.
To determine the epidemiology, diagnosis and prognosis of enterovirus (EV) and parechovirus (HPeV) infection in Dutch children. Hypotheses: 1. EVs are one of the most important viral agents of infection in Dutch children; 2. EVs are the major cause…
Eating rate may be related to overweight. Due to a high eating rate, there may not be sufficient time to develop appropriate feelings of satiety, leading to overconsumption. We hypothesise that when eating rate is high, the ad libitum food intake is…
Using Irreversible Electroporation on locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma deemed unresectable during explorative laparotomy, will increase progression free survival and median overall survival.
We hypothesize that a conversation aid and information brochure for patients, and a communication training for physicians improves satisfaction and quality of the discussion about potential treatment restrictions at the internal medicine outpatient…
We believe that a routine graft biopsy at 6 and 12 months together with graft function represents the best surrogate marker for late graft loss.
We expect that STRAVA users who will stop with using the self-tracker will experience body empowerment, while people who are using no self-tracker and will start using STRAVA will experience body alienation.
Information on the dynamics and shape of the device and how these change over time will improve our understanding about the fixation and/or sealing of the device, which may help in stent selection and in designing stent grafts that are more durable.
The implicit training (AAT) added to standard behaviour therapy will reduce relapse rates after treatment when compared to the control group.
Natural killer cells are cells of the innate immunesystem and can kill tumor cells without prior sensitization. By infusing these cells through a catheter in the intraperitoneal cavity, ovarian carcinoma cells can be traced and killed. This phase 1…
Recently, (changes in) the gut microbiome (flora / bacteria) have been associated with obesity and insulin resistance, and other cardiovascular risk factors or atherogenic processes. Venous thrombosis shares these risk factors, probably by a shared…
